Great surgeon. He was very attentive to my thumb surgery. I have full use of my thumb now with no pain and hardly noticeable scare.

Horrible bedside manner. Spends no time answering questions. Acts as if I’m wasting his time by being in his office. I had to google information about my injury because he literally just walked out of the room after telling me I may have a rotator cuff injury:

Most of my review of this Dr was left in my review of the clinic. He has ignored my symptoms, interrupted me, and tried to send me back to work before I met the requirements. He is by far the worst doctor I’ve ever had.
